I love SQLAlchemy because I had formally learnt MySQL in high school and I never seemed to understand why I wouldn't use Excel instead. SQLAlchemy + Python (preferably using Flask) and the Mega Tutorial by Miguel Grinberg is the best way to get started in web development. I realize every body has different methods that work for them, but not only did this work for me, it also was very well explained by Miguel and also as OP said, the documentation on SQLAlchemy. It was sad to bid adieu to SQLAlchemy recently, as I picked up MongoDB (you should check out MongoEngine if you haven't!)
